Rep. Ron Paul, the most freedom-loving, Constitution-defending, rational Republican candidate for 2008, if you think about the modern sense of the word, really isn’t a Republican at all. If you think about the word as it was used in the 1960s, however, to describe such men as Barry Goldwater, then he is the only true Republican. It could go both ways. In any case, the libertarian is the right man to be President.

Ron Paul, a 72-year old Representative from Texas’s 14th District, first ran for President in 1988. He has decided to run again, this time as a Republican. He is against abortion, supports non-interventionism (and its undesired outcomes), and recently signed a contract to never raise taxes. He has never once voted to raise his own pay, and he doesn’t accept money from lobbyists. He was against Iraq from the beginning (because it was unconstitutional), and has never once changed his stance on the issue. This is to be admired. The man has guts and integrity. He doesn’t judge potential legislation by his personal views, but lets the Constitution decide. He is a Constitutionalist in the strictest sense of the word, and a true patriot. To be in his early 70s, he is very articulate and a straight-shooter, and very youthful.
Rudy Giuliani knows this. That is exactly why Giuliani turned an entire audience against Paul a few weeks ago. Rudolph Giuliani is threatened by Dr. Ron Paul, even though he is considered a minor candidate. Ron Paul has rational thoughts and debates well. Saul Anuzis knows this. That is why he attempted to ban him from future debates. Luckily, his petition caused an uproar and Anuzis was forced to withdraw it.

Ron Paul is the only viable candidate for 2008. Read up on him. Support him. Contribute to his campaign. We’ll give ‘em hell in ‘08.
